Traveler reviews
Not value for money
Not well organised, no contact details provided, so literally had to ask every bus parked there which one is ours. Not value for money, they only stopped at broken chair and could not take any photo in any other location. Moreover, train ride was also very short and never stopped for any attractions.
Nice city overview
Guide on the bus was very entertaining and informative. Guide in the little train spoke too softly. Would have preferred first guide throughout.
Low effort introduction to the city
Great tour to get you started on Geneva, get a feel for the layout and the landmarks, and sit down during most of it ( this is great if you’ve been on vacation and doing a ton of walking). I loved the little train ride though the Old Town - we’d already been through Old Town on foot, it was great to get a chance to ride slowly through it and take it in
Do not recommend
Communication was lacking. Directions for meeting spot were not clear. Customer service was horrible. Honestly, we saw the spots on the itinerary ourselves and googled the history. Look at other reviews before spending money on this company.
Visit Geneva and surroundings
Beautiful visit of the city of Geneva with a very voluble guide. Accurate in details and anecdotes. We enjoyed these shared moments, in fact we were a very small group ( 4 ) it was almost tailor-made .
